Why do you allow then foreign lobby groups?

Or why did you allow Elon to participate in elections, he was a foreigner at some point and he wasn't born in America?

> "if someone is willing to fight for anything other than the current administration then one day they might fight against the current administration directly."

So what? isn't the core idea in democracy "ruled by the people", Why can't you fight against the current administration with your opinion and opposition to their ideas?

it's strange that you are comparing democracy with a communism.

Wasn't the whole premise of democracy to express yourself freely and the core idea was "rule by the people"?

If country claims that they are democracy, then they should give people to add their opinion to rule the country, China is following its own core idea, ruled by a single party.

So many things are being done to protect a single country outside of the USA, even on a different continent, including losing its credibility about free speech and human rights.

there might be a correlation in the demographic chart to what you are saying: https://recurpost.com/blog/facebook-statistics/

largest chunk seems to be between 25-34, who got their accounts setup, younger generation going to tiktok/snapchat, older generation (like myself) giving up creating an account probably

I am constantly seeing an appeal screen with this message:

    XYZ, you submitted an appeal
    Check back here for the result.
    Your account is not visible to people on Facebook, and you can't use it.
    ...
after 2 days, I see account banned message. Tried with bunch of my personal emails with different domains, on a different locations with different IPs.

> I did it right the first time.

Maybe you are writing libraries/frameworks?

Any service running on production can fail anytime, whether you did everything right or not, things break sometimes.

> should be coached out

No, it won't work. Biologically, 25 years old without a family responsibilities will not get it anyway.

If you are 25 years old, single and your friends are similar to you, what would you do? Most I know are working 12-14 hour/day, because they eat breakfast, lunch and dinner at work.

> Your kid is better off not going to school for a day, or arriving late. They're not doing anything important in school.

Not sure, if you are serious.

Maybe we should become slaves of corporations? Should we divorce maybe with our partners because sometimes we go dining and on-call is more important than me having a dinner with my partner?

Yes, when 50 years old applies as a senior engineer, 25 years old senior engineers get uncomfortable. You might not notice it in any public conversation, but there is still a resistance:

   * will they be on-call?
   * can they work long hours?
   * how do I delegate to them?
   * are they going to resist new tech?
